Michigan: State Profile

Overview of the human and physical geography of Michigan. I discuss the cities, economy, food, lakes, National Parks and more. I know it's a long video but I think it's pretty good and informative.

Albums displayed: The Supremes - "The Supremes Sing Holland-Dozier-Holland" (1966), Alice Cooper - "Easy Action" (1970), Smokey Robinson - "Warm Thoughts" (1980), Grand Funk Railroad - "All the Girls in the World Beware!!!" (1974)

One point of interest you have missed completely is there are more lighthouses in Michigan than any other state.

Glad to see the algorithm give you some love these past few months. You deserve it!

You forgot to mention Mackinac Island! A fantastic little island sitting just off the coast of St. Ignace. It’s a great tourist destination for Michiganders and non Michiganders alike. No cars are allowed, you have to get around by walking, biking or horse drawn carriage!

Feels weird to see so many places I've been to/lived in in a youtube video

Well said! Only huge cultural thing you missed: EUCHRE!!!

The Michigan Left is by far the safest way to make a left hand turn. Plus, people barely stop at all the “required” stops. Thus, “The MIchigan Roll”.

as a Native Michigander, this was lovely!

Michiganders are posting their own fun facts, so here’s mine.

Kalamazoo was the original home of Gibson Guitar. They made a signature “Kalamazoo” model, and that’s what John Fogerty is singing about in “Down on the Corner” with the line “Poor Boy clangs the rhythm out on his Kalamazoo.”

Michigan is one of the most beautiful states in the country. I really enjoy visiting.

*sees video about Michigan*

Michiganders: “our time has come!”

Kyle, as a native Michigander I can tell you that you did a fabulous job of presenting the state of Michigan. It is obvious that you put a lot of work into this.

On a personal note, I was extremely surprised and delighted to see that you included a friend of mine in the musical section. My friend is none other than the fabulous Nina Friday of the musical group The Ruiners. She is a great musician and a tremendously talented artist.

Thank you!

When there’s a a video about Michigan, you’ll find that we’re always so proud our state and its geography. It’s pretty unique if you’d ask me.

[LibraDiCaprio]

My fellow Grand Rapidians/ West Michiganders where ya at?!?

[lukesherwin]

I have to admit I was skeptical about a non-Michigander representing our state well, but I’d say you did a great job! Obviously you couldn’t cover everything in a single video, but you hit most of the main points quite well!

Hey my family is primarily the reason Michigan is the 4th largest growers of carrots! We have the largest carrot farm in the north eastern United States 🥕

Born and raised in Michigan, I'm very impressed and happy this was a upbeat and positive video on The Great Lake State... Thank you!!!!

Lived in the UP my first 32 years of my life and the last 8 below the bridge. Overall a decent video outside of some pronunciation issues that others already commented on. The Michigan Left really isn’t that bad. They help a lot with congestion at intersections.

Houghton is pronounced like "Hoe-tun"

[kylek]

Yes! My state! One of my favorite Michigan facts is about a town that is just west of Detroit called Novi. The city got its name from the train station that used to be there. It was number 6 in line. Abbreviated as No. VI which turned to Novi

Also at 26:42 they’re pronounced Past-teas

Great Video!

I went to visit Detroit the other year and honestly the downtown is great. Great city, friendly people. All the city/geography youtubers love to shit on it because of its stats but its great city to visit at the very least.
